I'm trying the "weed soup" idea, myself, which seems to be working. I have a
garbage bin full of "chook-poo tea" to which I've thrown in the left-over
vege plants from last season (seeds and all).

Been there a few weeks now and it's a pretty nasty smell but the liquid is a
great fertilizer and it basically "drowns" the seeds, getting them so
waterlogged, they are unable to germinate.

I'll just leave it there for another month or 2 and then throw all of the
remaining solids into the compost. I've heard this works.

Hello,

I used to throw my weeds into my black pvc compost bin. But my gardener
told
me off saying that the compost bin process wouldn't kill all of the weeds
and thus result in their seeds/roots germinating later.

So to be so the safe side, I throw all the weeds, even the ones which
don't
seem to have seeds, into the council bio-trash bin.

But how about if I placed the weeds into a tight plastic bag (one of those
new biodegradable ones) and put them in the sun to rot? Then put them into
the compost bin. Wouldn't that way ensure their utter destruction?

Cheers!
